Any Wordsy fans out there who want to test something for me? Here are the rules for my new Delay Timer expansion. It makes the game more fun and fair when playing with 2 or 3 players. You'll just need a timer that can count to 10 seconds. DM feedback plz!

OK, I made a musical realization today that I should have already known about, and I have to share it with you all today. Maybe I'm wrong—if so, happy to be corrected.
I tried really hard to get into anime when I was in college. Keep in mind, this is before One Piece, before Cowboy Bebop, etc etc.

Every day Mamdani comes out and is like "hey guys, I turned off the orphan-crushing machine. Literally just had to flip a switch. Took less than 5 minutes."

Somehow I missed that in December, JG Thirlwell released (what he promises will be) the last Foetus album.
I'm halfway through. It's incredible. It's like a film soundtrack gained sentience, absorbed half Spotify's catalog, and exploded all over the place.

In case you ever needed proof that the mainstream media is a complicit arm of propaganda for a fascist regime and deserves no credibility or respect.
Not framing a reported $75m movie making $7m as a flop, but as a triumph and a record breaker. In a headline-over-article world, this matters.

It's easy to get spiky & defensive when someone (like me) says "all board games are political."
But that's a drive-by bumper sticker reminder that several factors, in combination, is what I mean. 🧵

The Dice Tower's silence on Sam Healy's fascist apologia is bad — hot take, I know — but it's also in line with this hobby's paradoxical insistence that games are simultaneously art and apolitical.
